Tenant relative wants landlord to repair his car!
Ok
So I just got an email from my PM informing me that a tenant’s relative in our Cleveland building is requesting his car be repaired by us as he suffered damage to the car’s under panel while driving out of our parking lot.
My first reaction was: “is this a joke?”
It does however seem he’s serious.
In 2 years of owning the building,not one of the scores of tenants we’ve had at the building has ever suffered any damage to their car.
The parking lot was also repaved prior to us acquiring the building.
Anyone else ever seen anything like this?

What is the benefit of having a property manager if you have to respond to this nonsense?
You don't think it's a prudent move for the PM to notify the owner that someone is considering filing a lawsuit?
This jagoff property manager didn’t even look into it. I could walk down the street and inform every person I meet that they may be subject to a lawsuit and provide them with more concrete info then this dope provided the landlord with.
